Servo Mechanism

This document discusses servomechanisms and their components. It defines a servomechanism as an automatic device that uses negative feedback to correct action. The key components are a controlled device, command device, error detector, and comparator. Servomechanisms are commonly used for position and speed control. The document also explains open and closed-loop control systems, with closed-loop providing greater accuracy through feedback. Finally, it describes servomotors, which allow precise angular or linear control through a motor and position sensor, and require a sophisticated controller.

Introduction

• In control engineering a servomechanism, sometimes shortened to servo, is an


automatic device that uses error-sensing negative feedback to correct the action
of a mechanism.
• Basic components of a servomechanisms : controlled device, command device,
error detector, comparator, servomotor.
• Application of servomechanism : position control, speed control.

Introduction

• A control system is a group of components that are linked together


to perform a specific purpose. Generally, a control system has a large
power gain between input and output. The components used in the
system and the complexity of the system are directly related to the
requirements of the system’s application.

• Control system are classified as either Open-loop or closed-loop

5
Open-loop control systems

• An open-loop control systems is controlled directly, and only, by an input signal,


without the benefit of feedback. The basic units of this system are an amplifier
and a motor. The amplifier receives a low-level input signal and amplifies it
enough to drive the motor to perform the desired job.

• After amplification, the input signal is fed to the motor, which moves the output
shaft (load) in the direction that corresponds with the input signal. The motor
with not stop driving the output shaft until the input signal is reduced to zero or
removed.

Closed-loop control systems

• A closed loop control systems utilizes an additional measure of the actual output
to compare the actual output with the desired output response. The measure of
the output is called the feedback signal.

• Often the difference between the output of the process under control and the
reference input is amplified and used to control the process so the difference is
continually reduced.
• Closed-loop control systems are the type most commonly used because they
respond and move the loads they are controlling quicker and with greater
accuracy than open-loop system.

7
Servomotor

• Servomotor is a rotary actuator or linear actuator that allows for precise control of angular or linear
position, velocity . Its consists of a suitable motor coupled to a sensor for position feedback. It also requires
a relatively sophisticated controller, often a dedicated module designed specifically for use with
servomotors.
• Servomotors are not a specific class of motor although the term servomotor is often used to refer to a
motor suitable for use in a closed-loop control system.
